findskill

findskill.md

A CLI for discovering and installing SKILL.md format skills for Claude.

Why it exists

Until Anthropic or another major platform ships an official skills registry, this fills the gap.

How it works

• Skills are discovered by searching for SKILL.md files on GitHub
• Results are ranked with a bias toward star count to surface trusted repos
• Approved skills are added to the registry
• Install counts are tracked to provide additional social proof

How to use it

A simple workflow is to instruct your agent to use findskill when it believes a task requires a specialized skill. The agent can then search, inspect, and install the right skill on demand.

Other CLIs

Just symlink Claude's skill directory to your other CLI config directory:

# replace with .gemini .codex ...
ln -s ~/.claude/skills ~/.your-other-cli/skills

npm install -g findskill

Use the submit command to add your skill repo to the registry:

The registry will review the repo and publish it if it matches the SKILL.md format.
